Virtual Chapter Spotlight: In 2003 I attended my very first PASS Summit. I was brand new to the world of MS SQL server, working towards becoming a junior DBA, and was there to learn everything I could about SQL Server. I distinctly remember my senior DBA suggesting that I attend the inaugural Women in Technology luncheon at Summit that year, and I declined. I can honestly say that I should have gone to that lunch in 2003, and I was dead wrong about what I perceived the WIT Luncheon and Virtual Chapter (VC) to be. The WIT Luncheon and VC is a vibrant group of technologists that focus on what it means to be a WIT, how to break down the barriers to women entering technology fields, providing networking opportunities for WIT, and engaging the entire community to talk about perceptions and challenges that WIT face in the workplace. Over the last couple of years we have worked hard to increase our core group of volunteers, which has allowed us to expand our reach beyond the Summit. You can now find an organized WIT presence at most PASS events and we are very happy to support the upcoming 24 Hours of PASS WIT edition March 15-16. If you are interested in the work we do, or would just like to learn more about our group, send an email to wit@sqlpass.org or join us on our monthly conference call on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Additional information about our activities can be found at http://wit.sqlpass.org. Read the complete article here. This Issue Is Sponsored By
